VaderNOOOOOOOOOOO

Victory does not embiggen me as much as I thought it would. I hope this internet gets fixed before the beta comes out.

 

[Gui_PT]

Yeah. Forgot to mention last night that Urk and Luke liking the new pistol is good to hear. Can't wait to try it out, and because of what we read about the pistol, I can definitely see the default spawning weapons will be the AR + pistol.

Seeing how much everyone at Bungie loves the pistol now, AR + Pistol starts actually does sound good.

Can't wait to try it

Do you usually have problems while playing?

Operation Remake 2Fort in Halo 3 has failed D: I ran out of room. It could've been awesome!

Oh neat, maybe make the bridge smaller, and chop off some of the back.

And HaloGaf shat on it.

Alarm was expressed at a one-sentence description, the fact that it's going Multi -> Campaign and not the other way around clears it up alot.
There's still the question about multiplayer environments that aren't in campaign? Will they only come as dlc?

 

[feel]

Hmm.. So I wonder what exactly Skullamanjaro is. Obviously it is a killamanjaro with the skull. But do you just get it in Oddball only then?

I wonder if they will do the same for the flag.

These seem all like random lines the guys asked the voice actor to blurt into the mic for shit and giggles. I wouldn't look much into it right now.

"Like we noted last week, the process was a bit different this time around. The multiplayer spaces were still constructed separately by a team of trained multiplayer experts, but as each arena came online they were subsequently passed over to the campaign team and injected into the game in progress as small portions of much larger campaign missions (which should explain the information coming out of X10 last week)."

That actually sounds like a really, REALLY good idea.

Once the game comes out, I will probably like it or not care at all, but right now, it still seems like a shit move no matter how they spin it.

i hope reach has game-winning kills like mw2

That would be total sweetness, as long as it doesn't show something totally different to what happened in your point of view during gameplay, like in the CODs. Maybe only show the winning kill if it was a special kill, and not a close dmr vs dmr duel that would leave the loser frustrated after seeing the replay and then bitching about it in every post game lobby.

 

[randomlyrossy]

You guys are all way too fast, you need to slow it all down.

I feel your pain man.

So why is everyone showing off their speeds anyway? I haven't been paying attention :X

 

[Deputy Moonman]

If they had taken stuff from the campaign and turned it into matchmaking maps, I would have been more irritated. But throwing already made maps into the campaign doesn't bother me as much for some reason.

Monkey see monkey do.

The gaffer with the slowest internet will be able to choose which weapons you'll start with on Reach Multiplayer

Hopefully if we have saved films in the Reach beta, we'll be able to play videos from the beta in the final game, unlike Halo 3.

Spoiler

Bungie, I want to see my H3 Beta videos.

Me too. Really wish they didn't shut off the beta theater. Sometimes when I find those replay files on my hard drive, I just look at the file names, and remember the good times. Same for beta itself, always there on my demos list, never gonna get deleted.

 

[Kibbles]

Enough with the connections. Jesus...

There were so many awesome things about the H3 Beta.
-Deploying the bubble shield on Snowbound protected you from the plasma turrets.
-The Valhalla space glitch.
-Turning the player speed in the custom games glitch allowed you to splatter other players if you ran into them.
-The carbine was deadly.
-The tripmine was still in Valhalla.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Eurgh, "Nice Spawn Bro" - what is this about.

I really doubt we will hear this in 'normal' play, its just a bit jarring (and potentially too common for a jokey announcment), so I wonder what it could be.

 

[Thagomizer]

.
-Turning the player speed in the custom games glitch allowed you to splatter other players if you ran into them.

I had so much fun with this. I think a good third of my Beta games were just turning the speed up to max and having games where you have to ram people to kill them. Juggernaut was so awesome with that setting; the Juggernaut was super fast, and everyone else was normal. You had to assassinate the Juggernaut to kill him. It was so much fun to sidestep a Spartan going half the speed of sound and punch him in the back of the head

If Reach is like Halo 3 that clip is going to be playing at the same pace as Flag Dropped/Flag Taken.

Bungie you really need to address the BR. Is it in, or is it not?

 

[Stinkles]

-The tripmine was still magnetic and could be attached to the underside of vehicles and was speed and motion sensitive in Valhalla.

fixed

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I wonder why they haven't added an optional Third Person view. I think it's a bit strange that they have so many elements now that "Forces" A third person view. I would like to be able to have First Person inside vehicles, as well as third person while gunning around...


I noticed that one of the characters in the Reach trailer had a knife. Do you think there might be a combat knife playable in Multiplayer?

How much do you think we will be able to customize of our characters in multiplayer? Would it be cool if they could disable Helmet graphics, and use our own custom face/hairstyle/beard... ?

 

[Devin Olsen]

omg I completely forgot about that...

Why oh why did they change that? Also why did they remove them from Valhalla?

The beta was so much fun..

Hot damn, can you imagine Jihad tactics in Halo? OH LAWD.

Makes me all wet inside, I can see why they took that out.

 

[GhaleonEB]

fixed

Yup. I still remember the first time I climbed into a Warthog, wondering what that beeping sound was. Got a nice aerial view of the entire map right after.

As for the MP map design process this time around - it works for me. I assume symmetrical maps will be tweaked for MP to be, um, symmetrical. And the benefits of campaign integration are going to be pretty spectacular, I think.

 

[The Librarian]

Just to be absolutely sure I'm understanding the process correctly, the multiplayer maps were developed first, then once they were finished, they were handed over to the campaign team to be tweaked to a part of a much larger campaign missions?

My only worry is asthetics, if ALL multiplayer maps are from campeign then theyre going to be limited in what they can make.

Its pretty trivial, but the sheer variety of locales in the previuse maps is incredible.

 

[Stinkles]

The beta was so much fun..

It was WICKED overpowered, but hilarious. Having a whole team killed in a Hog, at their spawn was unarguably mirthful, but created a massive lopsidedness. It was also much more capable of ejecting like, half the people in the game into a respawn state, which has way more far-reaching problems than you'd think.

 

[DragoNZ DZ]

Jihad tactics only work if it doesn't blow up as soon as you start driving it. That's just Darwin Awards Tactics.

Heh....

 

[GhaleonEB]

True, but remember that nearly every setting of the Halo 2 and Halo 3 maps came from campaign. So as long as Reach has the same kind of diversity, that aspect should be fine.

Heh....

If you drove slowly and carefully enough, it wouldn't blow up.

 

[Roche]

Slowly drive it to the enemy base and carefully replace the trip mined hod with the enemy hog for the most awesome triple betrayal of all time.

 

[Stinkles]

Or park it next to theirs, trip-mine that one too. Parking lot of tragedy.

It would be a lot easier to drive a naked hog and plant the mine later though. Just sayin'

 

[rar]

if there is a tripmine in reach it needs to be remote detonation like c4 in bf or cod or stickies in tf2

[Kapura]

That doesn't seem like it would work very well in the Halo Gameplay. Having to remote detonate means people will have to be camping to see when enemies are in range, and Halo is pretty good about not rewarding campers.

I wish it was at least wasn't as glowy and noticeable now. The mines in Bad Company I would place along the main road on the Harvest Day map and tanks and vehicles would always run over them. :lol It helped to place them in ditches in the road that were made from explosions as well. Otherwise, I'd make my own holes in the road.

zomg just over a week until BC2!

Hooray for slow-and-steady Jihad tactics, the wave of the future?

Edit:

The Saved Film that would produce would be of epic proportions.

I'm under the impression it's seven headshots in a row. Maybe because 'headshotamanjaro' doesn't really roll off the tongue. idk, anything could happen i guess.

it comes out to $40 a month for the internet but I get a $12 discount because I also get my cable and telephone through the same company and my total bill is much higher. I was actually a little surprised, my bill says I'm only supposed to be getting 20 mbps but all their recent advertising is touting that they give you 50mbs and will soon be going to 100mbps.
